I am a reptilian-donkey-MAGAtard. 🤣🤣🤣 I am chill but uncool. Not so obvious and ruthlessly odd. I am violently anti-coffee, you addict! Eshara says I'm a lovely bloke. 🫣 OceanSlim's court jester. Chronically offensive to freemymind. šŸ˜Ž #weldstr #welding #beexcellent #buildthefuture #diy #solar #alexandria #gitcitadel Catch me on simplex: w3.do/F9zAICbf

They do. Because everything that you say will lead to BTC using more costly electricity. The solution to this is to generate more power by any means to get everyone on the planet to the point where having clean water, decent food, and cheap electricity is the norm in the farthest reaches of the planet. Anything else is anti-human BS and I'm not particularly fond of that.

Meh. Unlike most people, I'm honest about my faults. Outside the realm of my work, which I like, I'm exceptionally lazy.

I barely function via amethyst... That's about 4 levels above in understanding.

Not saying that's bad, but... That's way over my head.

So nice you said it twice.

But technically, I've never been a MFer. No kids. :(

Are you and your spouse on the same page about home defense? Are you allowed to an yourselves if you aren't already?

Without knowing anything else, I'd say no. Better to find the worst house in the best neighborhood than the best house in the worst.

What are the other considerations besides the house?

And yes, I'm using your squirming through this as entertainment. Don't disappoint!

That's still not really integrated well enough since you don't get default gift wrapped messages (if I'm understanding that correctly)

Noooooo! Must be before then! I'll probably be asleep at that time. That is unacceptable!

Pro/con for each encrypted messenger

XMPP:

Pro: Speed & Decentralization. Easy to self-host

Con: Low adoption & reliant on government DNS

Matrix:

Pro: Institutional adoption

Con: Decentralized in theory, but centralized in practice to the matrix.org server with Google captchas. Like XMPP, it uses Government DNS

Session:

Pro: Uncensored Identity with onion routed delivery

Con: No rotating keys & despite rising adoption of the messenger, their cryptocurrency is dramatically falling in price, which relays have to stake

SimpleX:

Pro: Anonymous identity for each conversation, your identity is not tied to any one server, and you can self-host.

Con: No multi-device sync. No backup of account if you lose the physical device. Group chats don’t scale. You have to manually find and add servers not hosted by the developer.

Briar:

Pro: Uncensored identity, no servers, Direct Peer to Peer onion routed on Tor, or works without internet via bluetooth

Cons: Other person has to be online. No phone calls. While open source, keep in mind the CIA made Briar for foreign regime change.

Keet:

Pro: Uncensored identity, no servers, peer to peer like Briar, and it’s great for video chat and large file transfers

Con: Like Briar, the other person has to be online, but unlike Briar, Keet won’t connect over Tor.

Signal:

Pro: Easy to use, wide adoption

Con: Centralized Amazon server, no self-hosting, identity is connected to government phones which leaks metadata and can be censored. ā€œSealed Senderā€ has been academically proven to leak metadata unless you turn off ā€œread receiptsā€. Group chats leak phone numbers if members accept new incoming messages.

Very good list. Thank you.
